Chapter 57 Playing the Pig to Eat the Tiger
Let’s be honest.
It is normal for new games in the early access stage to have problems or bugs. It can even be said that the biggest problem is the absence of problems.
Players are also mentally prepared.
But when we encounter optimization bugs like "Star Emperor", it still makes it difficult for everyone to hold back...
Tianba Studio released an announcement as soon as possible and provided a solution to the "black screen and crash" problem, which is to reduce the game quality.
Chen Ba originally thought that after this painful lesson, players would learn their lesson and would not dare to try the ultimate graphics quality easily.
At first it was like this…
But when most players adjust the picture quality to simple or standard, new problems arise.
The extreme sublimation mode is awesome! Even in the simple picture quality, ordinary low-end and mid-range graphics cards can last for ten moves.
If the video memory is less than 8G, it will explode if you can't even last ten moves.
As a result, the game environment has entered a very strange atmosphere, like the dark forest of "chain of suspicion" in science fiction novels. You don't know what graphics card the opponent has, nor do you know how many moves the opponent can survive in the extreme sublimation mode...
If you don't know the configuration of your opponent's computer, then it is best not to use the Extreme Sublimation. Anyway, the picture quality and frame rate are the same, and the winner will be determined by your technical operation.
But what if the other party thinks that your configuration is not as good as his, and your graphics card is probably crappy?
The result is clear at a glance! Knowing that the other party's computer configuration, especially the graphics card, is not good, why would he play tricks with you? He directly sublimated to the extreme and crushed the opponent with hard power.
Boy, can you withstand my punch of 24G video memory?
So the current gaming environment is very weird, especially the intrigues and deceptions on the road to becoming an immortal, which is simply exciting!
Xiao Lu also went to experience it.
At the beginning, we showed weakness to each other, signed a gentleman's agreement, and hinted in various ways that our computer configurations were not good enough. We would not use the ultimate sublimation and would only compete in operation.
OK!
Sounds very tempting...
But this is just a phase of mutual testing before the game begins. Once you agree too readily, or you are not pretending to be weak but are really weak, the so-called gentleman's agreement will be torn up on the spot.
besides!
There are also some eccentric rich guys who like to "play dumb to eat the tiger". They tell you to be gentle right away, pretending to be weak and vulnerable, and lure you to take the first step.
Do you think he is really weak? As long as you dare to turn against him and tear up the gentleman's agreement, he will immediately stop pretending. You can't bear the anger from 3090.
"Wow! I feel so uncomfortable..."
Xiao Lu was in great pain. In the first game, he followed the gentleman's agreement and only compared his skills, but was severely beaten. In the second game, he decided to tear off his disguise and let the opponent know what it meant to be an emperor who cannot be insulted.
Then he was beaten to pieces by a wild 3090 player, and his computer is still black screen!
"Why are you going to fight for immortality when you have nothing to do..."
Zhong Shengwei's mouth twitched as he said, "Is the Immortal Path played by humans now? It's full of monsters and demons. I used my own computer to play, and my winning rate is only 58%!"
Too abstract.
There are only about 80,000 players of the early access version on the three major platforms combined, and no one knows where so many 3090-level powerful players came from among these 80,000 people.
"I think I know the answer."
Yang Dong, who was eavesdropping on their conversation, opened his browser and said, "Look at this..."
Xiao Lu and Zhong Shengwei came over immediately, and even Chen Ba, who was peeling an orange nearby, took a sneak peek out of curiosity.
This is a popular post on the graphics card forum.
The content of the post is very simple. A forum friend was fighting to become an immortal but was beaten by various powerful people. His faith was shattered and his later years were unknown. So he came to the graphics card forum to complain.
The bar friends are all kind-hearted. When they see someone relying on his powerful graphics card to harm the people, they immediately feel overwhelmed with a sense of justice and say they want to help the bar friends get back their face.
In the past two days, those guys who were "playing pigs and eating tigers" on the road to becoming immortals were the righteous people from the graphics card bar.
Every time they successfully kill their opponents, they will go to the "Starry Sky Emperor Bar" to post a message to record their achievements.
As for the newly established Star Emperor Bar, it has been colonized and ruled by the Graphics Card Bar since its establishment.
Chen Ba: “…”
The oranges were obviously sweet, but they tasted bitter to him and made his tongue numb.
What's going on? He created the Ultimate Ascension mode with the intention of taking care of the weak players and giving them a chance to fight back when their health is low. But now, Ultimate Ascension has become exclusive to the strong.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
If a weak player uses the Extreme Sublimation, in the eyes of the opponent, you are just committing suicide? The rich brother uses the Extreme Sublimation, killing everyone on the road to becoming an immortal, and the main feature is to sweep away all opponents in the world, and the krypton gold experience is directly maximized! What is krypton gold? Hardware krypton gold is also krypton gold! Speaking of this, Chen Ba is very angry. The in-app purchase they designed for "Star Emperor", that is, the stone workshop cutting source stone gameplay, has not been recharged to experience it so far.
To use a sentence from a forum player: Why do I need to spend money on this? I have so much money that I can't afford to spend it. If I have money, I can just buy a new graphics card. Wouldn't it be more enjoyable? He makes a lot of sense.
Precisely because it made sense, even Chen Ba was unable to refute it, so he felt uncomfortable and wronged.
Every player who has played the early access version of "Star Emperor" said that this game is too kryptonian, and there is no good experience without kryptonian gold.
But the problem is...
You guys spent money, but I didn’t receive any money!
Apart from the 50 yuan pre-sale price of the early access version, Tianba Studio did not make a penny more, as all the money was taken away by the unscrupulous businessmen who sold graphics cards.
Looking back, they still criticized "Star Emperor" for forcing players to spend money on various game forums and communities, saying that it left no room for ordinary players to survive. Tianba Studio really deserves to die...
“It’s unfair!”
"It's fine to criticize our game for being bad, after all, it's the truth, but I didn't expect to be criticized for forcing us to play the game."
Chen Ba threw the orange peel in his hand to the ground and said with gritted teeth: "And those profiteers who sell graphics cards are promoting our games under the banner. They are so shameless!"
“That’s right!”
Yang Dong was also very angry: "How dare you advertise that Star Emperor runs smoothly and stress-free with such a crappy graphics card? Isn't this just cheating?"
What does the smoothness of the game have to do with your graphics card? Isn't it Tianba Studio's powerful optimization? And you dare to promote stress-free play? It makes me laugh!
These unscrupulous businessmen lie with their eyes open, using the 20 series graphics cards that are stored in their warehouses to promote their performance to computer novices.
"Star Emperor" has become the best publicity advertisement for these unscrupulous businessmen.
Look!
The graphics quality is so high and it can run at 60 fps. Is my graphics card bad? How can a newbie understand the tricks? Although I have never played Star Emperor and don't know what game it is, the graphics quality is amazing. When I look at the frame rate, it is indeed 60 fps as stable as a dog.
OK, OK, I'll buy this card! Relying on the actual machine screen demonstration of "Star Emperor" and the super-optimized 60 frames, these unscrupulous merchants fooled a lot of computer novices and made a lot of money.
